Lot 1: The Council requires an all-age Alcohol and Drug Treatment and Recovery service. Specialised pathways will be developed by the service provider to ensure that all cohorts of service users, receive the support they need from a single provider regardless of how they enter the service. The service will deliver a range of interventions, including providing a wider prevention and education offer to other professionals, support to families and input to other local delivery agendas. The service will cover advice, treatment and recovery and will be available to all Rotherham residents who require support with substance misuse including problems with prescribed and over the counter medication. The service provider will be required to have recognisable separate alcohol and drug pathways to ensure that each service user cohort receives the best support in line with national guidance and best practice. The service provider will need to deliver a comprehensive community alcohol offer that will work in a primary care setting. The service provider will offer a complete range spanning information and advice, screening, brief interventions, structured psychosocial interventions and pharmacological treatments (including stabilisation, reduction, detoxification, relapse prevention medication and care co-ordination for residential rehabilitation). The service will be delivered in part from a central base, within Rotherham town centre, but also operate from community venues to improve accessibility. Both the central base and these venues are for the service provider to establish. The Council is looking to impose a requirement for sub-contracting, which may involve novation of some existing sub-contracts to the new service provider. The Council is not dictating which nominated sub-contractors shall be used. The new service provider will also be responsible for sub contracting of pharmacies to provide supervised consumption of medications and also for GP practices who deliver care to patients under a shared care agreement with the service provider's lead clinician in the service. It is the intention of the Council to award a contract to the new successful provider Change Grow Live. The provider has been identified following the completion of the evaluation process in line with the Key Criteria stated, following an openly advertised competitive process. The lifetime value of the contract is £27,872,354.25. It is anticipated that the contract will commence on 23/01/2027 and will run for a period of 26 months and nine (9) days making the expiry date 31/03/2029. The extension rights in this contract will be in any combination of extension(s) up to a maximum of forty-eight (48) months. This will be determined by the Council as part of its commissioning options prior to the end of this contract. Additional information: In relation to II.2.5, it is important to note that price is not the only award criterion. All criteria were stated in the procurement documents and have been included in this notice at VI.3 for transparency.
